Our Capital Campaign with French Creek Community Theatre to outfit our new venue is in full swing. Our goal is to raise $100,000 each year for three years. We were very close in attaining this goal in 2025 and have exciting events happening to support our 2026 efforts.
Currently, light darkening window treatments will be installed by February. We continue to make progress on acoustical concerns. We are very close to having the funding for the rehearsal room flooring. Next on the list is obtaining risers for our audience.
